@EVIL-C Actually...

Before you were so swift to report me, and whether or not you muted me at this point, I have the utmost respect and admiration for Canada. I love the country. I have a couple friends online that live there. I simply just thought of the anthem when I saw the maple leaf and just felt like applying the lyrics in my comment replies to you. At least I put them -appropriately- and not a parody/mock-up variation like some would've done. So if anything, consider it a tribute from a nobody living in a small town in Georgia, USA. Hell, many of time I wish I could freaking move there to tell the truth.

But nevermind. 'Tis fine. Enjoy your evening and, sorry I gave an opinion on the pricing of an elastic plastic ring and game? Guess that's not what a comment section is supposed to be...guess I should love it no matter what. 🐏

Re: If You Recently Bought A Switch, Nintendo Will Replace It With A Revised Model

@mazzel Oh it is a nice move indeed, don't get me wrong. But for those of us that have had to live with the shorter battery life say, since launch or even a year-ish after launch (like mine per say, since February of 2018), it kinda sucks. But eh, it's no big deal. I tend to play docked more so than not, and thankfully my Joy Cons have remained drift free ever since they came out of the box. Good times.

Indeed as someone above said, a steal at the prices they've been posted for. I'm content with the way all 3 play, despite keeping DooM to a Playstation standard. I felt these would be fun to have in handheld and indeed they are, as well as being able to easily transport the Switch from one dock to another, as opposed to unplugging a whole PS3 and moving it into the bedroom. So overall I'm happy with these ports. Hella happy.

Re: Anniversary: Game Boy Turns 30 Years Old In North America

I would not get my first (of two, eventually) Game Boy's until Christmas 1990. I still remember and have every game I got initially for it:

  • Tetris
  • Super Mario Land
  • Wizards & Warriors X: Fortress Of Fear
  • The Bugs Bunny's Crazy Castle
  • Boxxle
  • Kwirk

A fine line-up of titles to start off with, loved them all, still play them ever so often , either on the original hardware, or on the Super Game Boy SNES Adapter. Now, reason why I said two Game Boy's..is for I broke my first one, after bashing the screen against my forehead in anger back in '92, infuriated at the game Nemesis (Gradius.) Had to be slick to come up with a fib to tell mom, but I think she knew what really happened. Either way, I wound up with a new GB later that week and learned to calm my young AVGN-ass down and make better use of my pillows to take my anger out upon instead. Good times! As were spending clear, warm, late summer afternoons out on the back porch with my bag of GB games playing until the sun went down.

Re: Luigi's Mansion 3 Gets A Solid October Release Date

Godlike_Virus

Ooh, perfect. Wouldn't say it's too too surprising, but unexpected. Like everyone else, was anticipating a week before or the week after. Wow, hard to believe it's been 18 years since the first one came out, though I didn't get my GameCube 'til mid-2002. So many good memories.

Re: Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered Will Be A GameStop Exclusive In The United States

@PBandSmelly Well, I feel for ya, I really do. But years of their particular practices has led to this disdain that's ultimately unanimous, with some small glimmers of light, but not many. A 10 year old game getting re-released physically through one store is just...ugh. For the thing is, I have a couple older games I could trade in, but either I won't get hardly a dime for them, or they just won't accept them at all, which sucks. For there is also an indy game store 20 minutes away that I've done hella good business with in the past, always given me awesome deals for the things I bring in, but sadly this one won't be one of 'em. Think I'd be better off just getting the PS3 version again and calling it a day.

Re: Sega Not Worried About Overwhelming Audiences With Retro Content

Godlike_Virus

Great! Lovely! On that note, give us Sonic 3 and Knuckles at some point while you're at it. Settle that soundtrack dispute(?) or just re-record something similar to it and put it on a compilation collection of some sort. It'd be like if they released the original Star Wars movies (again) but didn't include Return Of The Jedi.

@Koopatroop Duuude! I just now saw the article on here from the other day after doing a quick look up. =D !!!!! XD !!! AHHH!!! I'm giddy as F right now. Thank you for bringing that tease to my attention. I just really love this game, and other than Mortal Kombat and Pole Position, was the one arcade game I dropped the most quarters on to play. Not to mention rocking out to the soundtrack while I played. Thank you again, and to this site for upping that news piece the other day. m/m/
